Charles David takes an uncharacteristically no nonsense approach with this Griffith Half Flap Bag.
I’m used to admiring unusual designs from Charles David, so I almost passed this bag over. That would have been a mistake though, because classic purses like this always have a place in our closets. The conservative color palette is given a lift with the glazed leather treatment. This finish is slightly glossy, but not as ostentatious as a patent. Its subtle sheen pales in comparison to the modern polished hardware.
The traditional flap style is pleasant enough, but I’m really revved by the Griffith’s practical perks. It’s got a dual compartment design, which makes keeping your essentials in order a breeze. The single strap is a little too short for easy over-the-shoulder carrying, but Charles David has added an attachable long strap for the days you’re on the move.
As it doesn’t follow the trends, the Griffith will never go out of style. That makes its $235 retail price seem like an affordable investment in your fashion future.
